    Kyle Juszczyk.

    Kyle Juszczyk is an eight-time Pro Bowl fullback and he's made a name for himself in Kyle Shanahan's San Francisco 49ers' offense by being one of the best "gadget" players in the NFL.

    He's no Deebo Samuel, who could also qualify for the "gadget" designation, but Juszczyk is extremely dangerous with the creative Shanahan calling the plays — and he's way more than just a short-yardage guy.

    In fact, in San Francisco's "Monday Night Football" game against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, Juszczyk looked far more like a wide receiver than a fullback on one particular play.

    Shanahan had him line up at the traditional fullback spot, but rather than blocking, he leaked down the seam and secured a massive play for the 49ers through the air:

    Juszczyk came into this season with 262 career receptions, 165 of which came in the past seven seasons with the 49ers. He also has 16 career receiving touchdowns.

    This catch certainly goes down as one of the highlights of his career, though.

    Forget Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. If defenses now have to worry about Juszczyk being a big-play threat downfield, the 49ers are once again going to be a big problem in the NFC.
